Seriously now, if its the ONLY thing you listen to on this forum, it's regarding cambelts.
Ring the garage, tell them to leave the engine in. You want it done elsewhere. They either knock money off for you to have this done, or you dont buy the car.
Its as simple as peas
No matter how much...
But probably havent got a clue how to work on the F4R, or have the right tools.
However, we all know you're going to ignore the advice you get from us, and let them mess with it, then come back moaning about how slow your car feels.
I give up with this place at times
Well, I got it to fire up again lastnight.
Mate suggested I got rid of avast and tried this superantispyware program. Installed and ran a scan. 428 threats, 10 of which were "major"
I had it running for a while and it seems OK, but still going to get it looked at by someone who actually knows...
Nope, I dont have s**t like that. I cant stand tech at the best of times, even less when it starts to play up like this.
Will take it some nerdy shop this weekend and let them sort it
OK, I seemed to have got most of the dust out. It still wouldnt fire up. Weird.
Then I went to turn it on its side and it burst into life, flashing lights an all!! Both CPU and PSU fans are running. Everything seems fine. Had it on for 15mins or so, but then I turned it off as I had to nip out...
On an extension, but been fine for 18 months.
Will get a can of air and clean it all properly later, check the fans etc. It has heatsink and a fan on the CPU, so I am thinking power supply maybe goosed
It died again last night. Took the side cover off and blew out a fair bit of dust. Put it back together.
It fired up again for about 20 seconds then died. Wouldnt turn back on. I got annoyed and went to bed.
Fan on the CPU I think, will have the side off again later
Come home tonight and it wouldn't fire up.
I unplugged it all, tried it all again, and it fired up. However, now its making a high pitch whine, ever so slightly. Not reeally loud, just in earshot. Like when it's reading/writing a disc...... but there is no disc in.
When I logged on, it had a...
a bright enough torch on long exp will do
What about trafford park, or find a nice substation somewhere.
Motorway bridges are cool if you long exp too as you get the trail lights
You were back home and didnt ring me for a pint? You vajazzle earing wearing FAG!!
Kris, next time you're up, instead of stalking Su, give me a call and come round. You can snowfoam the s**t out of it, and use normal polish and wax instead of that nasty crap
The only, and I mean the ONLY thing I cant be doing with is the Sparco seats. They are nothing short of awful.
Ford made a right boob going from Recaros there.
Couldnt have said it better myself.
Saw a shonky old F plate saph cos last night in, shall we say, a bit of a hurry. Looked like he was wrestling with it, pop of soot out the back. Everyone on the pavement stopped to watch it. Made me smile
But maxpower says you can get 8-10bhp from a HKS filter. Then a decat is a good 5 on top of that. Stainless exhaust, power boost valve and folding your back seats forwards......... easily beat the ITB boys
